Tax Season

Boy, how grueling is tax season! I've come to realize that I may enjoy Mary Kay, but it is not worth the money I spent on it seeing as how all those money I spent on it added up to twice the amount I made on it! Halleluah for it being tax deductible. Now let's hope my accountant can work wonders like she did for Shane!

Yesterday during my long nothing to do at work day I kinda just sat and thought all day, mostly about my topic from yesterday. I found out much about myself!!! The death of Natasha Richardson officially today made me come to the realization that life is short and can end at the drop of the house. If you were to read my old blog, which I cannot find so hopefully neither can anyone else, you will see that all I ever did was complain and carry on about how horrible life is. In reality while there may be things about life I cannot stand such as school, cold weather, and the fact that I feel sometimes Shane and I will never take the next step, those are things I cannot change. So instead of dwelling like life is horrible, I should look for the beauty in life.

I've already figured that out long before yesterday with Shane or at least when I started working in the Bridal Shop. Sure we may not be engaged or anything yet and I'd love to be. However, no ring, engagement, wedding, or marriage will change the fact that Shane loves and cares about me. Also I found that by putting myself into his world and enjoying the things he likes that I feel less distant and more accepted in our house full of boys.

I brainstormed some great ways to capture the beauty in life as well and thought of things I love but never do or have always wanted to learn more of. What it initially came down to was that I love writing but never do so I'd like to do that a lot more. And I want to start up some photography. Thanks to Stephanie Osborne of Ardent Photography, I realized how beautiful a snowy or cold day can be and for me those are the worst! I also decided I should stress less about school and understand that it's not about my GPA anymore its about making it through! I don't have to graduate college with a 3.8 or anything special I just have to graduate!
